What to do with ip that got into spamhaus?

Question

Fight against spam

Good day.
Recently took vps . Moved my project there from shared hosting. In addition to all sorts of technical advantages, I also thought that it would be good if the site has a separate ip (for example, 10.10.10.10 ).

Recently, during the analysis, a checkmark was highlighted, saying "ip got into the spamhaus database", (more precisely, 10.10.10.10 is listed in the SBL ). I climbed this site and found out that specifically my ip is not there, but there is such a plan: 10.10.10.0/24 / 10.10.10.123, etc., 10 pieces differs from mine only by the last digit.

How sad is that? Will there be any sanctions from search engines? And is it generally normal?

Thanks to.

Answer 1

The hoster's subnet got into SpamHaus - probably the hoster doesn't keep track of spam and abuse. Write to the hoster to delist your subnet or change the hoster (since he is so inattentive to spam lists).
Yes, you will have problems sending mail - those servers that use SpamHaus dnsbl lists may not accept mail from your mail server.
Another option - you can delegate mail to Yandex / Google, then you are protected from being blacklisted (unless, of course, you yourself will not spam).

Answer 2

In general, I don’t care if the mail server on this ip is not going to raise and send mail to someone. It would be nice to go to the site with all sorts of AdGuard to see if there is a warning - if not, then everything is ok, if there is, yes, you need to either change the ip or delete it from the database.

Answer 3

I don’t know any sanctions from search engines, but there may be problems with mail (if it is spinning on your VPS).
If they brought a whole subnet, then it’s worth considering whether you took a normal service, that someone got fucked from them and threw the whole network into their lists.
in principle, the most normal option is to write to them saying take me out of the database, usually it does it quite quickly (indicating your IP).
Or reconsider your service, maybe it’s worth moving out of it once such trifles are already problems.
